Saint Theresa's Prayer


May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
Miracles occur when a mind changes the way it looks at the world.
Beauty is born and Angels take flight to deliver those blessings!

Maya Angelou's Prayer

Father, Mother, God,
Thank you for your presence
During the hard and mean days.
For then we have you to lean upon.
Thank you for your presence
During the bright and sunny days,
For then we can share that which we have
With those who have less.
And thank you for your presence
During the Holy Days, for then we are able
To celebrate you and our families
and our friends.
For those who have no voice,
we ask you to speak.
For those who feel unworthy,
We ask you to pour your love out
in waterfalls of tenderness.
For those who live in pain,
We ask you to bathe them
in the river of your healing.
For those who are lonely, we ask
You to keep them company.
For those who are depressed,
We ask you to shower upon them
The light of hope.
Dear Creator, You, the borderless
Sea of substance, we ask you to give to all the
World that which we need most-Peace.
